Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has condemned the murder of a 17-year-old in Ghaziabad, questioning the nature of friendship between the accused and the victim. He also emphasized that parents who fail to guide their children are committing a serious mistake.
Adityanath made these remarks at a public event in Bijnor, amidst a tense calm in Ghaziabad's Khoda area. The UP CM also announced support to the victim's family, with officials handing over a government job appointment letter to his family.
The 17-year-old was allegedly lured to a street by the accused and his associates on May 28, where an argument over a motorcycle turned violent. Investigators said the accused stabbed the boy before fleeing the scene.
The district administration and police have launched a three-day 'Operation Clean Sweep' in Khoda, involving verification of tenants, commercial establishments, unauthorised properties and suspected criminal elements.
